Had a problem since january with my hands... so all i've done is read! I also
purchased a dedicated laptop for Ubuntu to use :-)

Anyway, in regards to your hostname problem. Post your problem, along with a copy
of your /etc/hosts file and the /etc/hostname file (put it inside [code] tags).

You may also get away with using the terminal command: hostname but you'l have
to run: man hostname

to see what switches it has etc.

Anyway about getting a domain name linked to your computer. You need to setup a DNS
(domain name server) on your computer, then forward the domain name to your DNS
server, the DNS server then must resolve the domain name to your computers IP to
which apache (or any other web server) needs to be running on port 80. However, if
you don't have a static IP each time you reconnect to the net you will have to
change some settings each time (to update the new IP).

Anyway, best to ask those kind of questions in the forums since BBcode is enabled
and many other coders browse them and can answer your questions.

Kind regards,
Scott

My knowledge is quite up to scratch now i would say. Read two books, 1000 pages each,
plus another 300/400 page book on ubuntu tips, tricks, hacks, etc.

I understand how to shell script now, how to do most things via the shell such as
update packages, pipe commands, etc.

As well as network it, set it up as a server, run perl, python, sort out
permissions, configure the kernal firewall, run modes (like single user mode for
admin work, etc) and so on.

The parts i know little about are how to actually program something specifically
for linux (not scripts like perl, php, etc... something like C++ i mean) and i
don't know much in depth stuff about linux itself. I'm comfortable with
Ubuntu though and can actually do more now on Ubuntu than i know how to do on
windows! (Ubuntu just seems to make more sense than windows even though i've
been using windows for almost 10 years!).

Kind regards,
Scott

P.S. If you reply by leaving me a comment on my profile, i will get notified of
your reply. This problem is fixed in coder profile v2.

Oh about a year now - I'm not learning about but I know a little more than the
basics of the terminal and stuff - sudo, permissions - but thats all really. I'd
like to learn more but I don't have the time :(

Whats your knowledge of ubuntu?

Hello,

How long you been using Ubuntu for? I've read two huge books about it and
using it now. I love it! Been using it for about 3 months now.

You learnt it properly or just from messing around on it?

Kind regards,
Scott
